Nüve – LED Light Therapy for Everyday Pain Relief

Hi Kim, the benefits of the Nuve Pain relief, which combines red and infrared light therapy, are reduction in overall pain, increase in circulation, reduction in swelling, and acceleration of healing for both chronic and injury-related pain.

Hi Alicia, the Nuve Pain Relief device has 72 medical-grade Red & Infrared LED lights. However, it is important to remember the key to a successful Light Therapy device is the overall optical energy performance of the device over the treatment time. The optical energy delivered by different LEDs is not equal, and in many instances we are able to deliver stronger, more efficacious performance with fewer LEDs than our competitor’s devices due to selecting the proper LED performance, resulting in shorter treatment times. LED Technologies’ products are designed to deliver the optimal optical energy to ensure the highest quality performance and safety in an at-home setting.

Hi Sharon, it's recommended to place the lights directly on the skin for best results (if that's uncomfortable, then we recommend holding the device within 1/4" of the skin). Keep it in one place for the full treatment time, do not move or wave it around. We have not conducted any studies with the use of cling wrap, so we cannot say with certainty, but it is possible it could reduce the effectiveness of the light therapy treatment.

To better assist - we would need to know the purpose for wanting to use it on your face. Can you please reach out directly to our customer service team at (800) 337-9565 or support@ledtechnologies.com

While our devices are not FDA-Cleared specifically for Diabetic Neuropathy, we do have many customers that use the devices to support the treatments for this ailment. The dpl® Nüve Pain Handheld can be used for diabetic neuropathy since it uses the LED light spectrum of Infrared (I/R) and Red that are typically used for this application of treatment. However, depending on what body part you are treating, there may be a better recommended product. If skin is sensitive to the touch then a handheld, like the dpl® Nüve, may be a better fit. It can be used when held or by using the multipurpose strap (available to order if you call Customer Service) to use the handheld device hands free. If being held it can be used close to the skin without having to make direct contact to the skin if the area is sensitive to touch. Our Flex products are widely used as they provide flexibility and comfort during treatments. For hands, we would recommend the Flex Mitt. For feet, we would recommend the Flex Pad or Slippers (not meant for walking). If you have any more questions, please call Customer Service at (800) 337-9565 so they can help you select the best device for your needs.
